The Connacht Rugby management team have released the latest squad update ahead of Friday's BKT United Rugby Championship meeting with Scarlets at Dexcom Stadium.
Harry West (knee) and Caolin Blade (thumb) will both miss a number of weeks following injuries in the recent win over Glasgow Warriors, while David Hawkshaw (groin) is also expected to be unavailable for a number of weeks.
In good news Ben Murphy (ribs) has recovered from injury and is available for selection, while Dave Heffernan (calf), Shamus Hurley-Langton (shoulder) and Matthew Devine (knee) are all returning to training this week and will be assessed for selection availability before next week’s meeting with Ulster.
Remaining unavailable are Temi Lasisi (knee), Oisin Dowling (knee), Hugh Gavin (shoulder), Byron Ralston (knee), Mack Hansen (foot) and Shayne Bolton (quad).
